In addition to championing organic growth, I find that often the best growth strategies come from identifying and cultivating the right strategic partners. Brought on board by the executive team to step into a strategic leadership role, I identified, cultivated, and drove the success of strategic partnerships—including due diligence, product evaluation, and articulation of our business partners’ unique values. It was during this time that I cultivated the partnership with Brink’s, which set the foundation for Brink’s to acquire Balance Innovations in 2019. Playing a key role in M&A due diligence activities. During the acquisition by Brink’s, I recommended the formation of a new department to lead the company’s key strategic growth initiatives, which was accepted, and I was appointed to preside over while leading several planning/execution projects to streamline integration.

Recruited by Hyla’s CRO, I stepped into a high-profile role to drive strategy and business development while streamlining new product and international expansion.

Contributing significantly to top- and bottom-line growth, I helped to trigger a $105M capital investment from a prominent PE firm.• During my tenure, I identified a new business opportunity and model, then ideated and launched a price prediction software tool (ValueLock™) that uses data analytics and machine learning to predict mobile phone value curve.

Sought out by the CMO of the Consumer Division to direct its new product group, I rapidly built a high-performing team from the ground up; defined and implemented a product vision; created a commercial model and holistic marketing strategy; and optimized P&L and a $16M marketing budget while overseeing an outside marketing agency. Not one to shy away from making the hard choices and saying “no” when required, I cleaned up a cluttered product roadmap of more than 30-languishing product ideas and focused my organization on 2 high-value, high-demand initiatives.• Based on that decision, we grew new product revenue from $2M to $9M in year one and were on track to achieve a $35M projected revenue in year 2 before Embarq’s acquisition. • Practiced at studying the competitive landscape and finding leverage-able advantages, I navigated the launch of a consumer-acclaimed, online and in-home computer support product (EMBARQ Rescue IT™) that topped first-year sales targets by 240%.
